Focus Products of Lincolnshire, IL, is voluntarily recalling Cocoa Latte
Hot Drink Makers because a small bushing inside the container has the
potential to leach lead. To date, Focus Products has received no notice
of any consumer complaints. However, the company’s independent testing
revealed the potential problem, and out of an abundance of caution, the
company voluntarily decided to recall the product.

The only affected products are the Cocoa Latte Hot Drink Makers,
makes and model numbers listed above. The Cocoa Grande™ Hot
Drink Maker is NOT affected by this recall. The Cocoa Latte Hot Drink
Makers shipped nationwide starting in 2004 through October 12, 2012. The
affected products come in a variety of colors with transparent pitchers,
and were sold primarily in the United States through various retailers
such as Bed Bath & Beyond, through various e-retailers such as
Amazon.com and through Focus Products’ online store.

Consumers in possession of a Cocoa Latte Hot Drink Maker should contact
Focus Products’ Call Center at 1-888-943-5202. Further information will
be available on Focus Products’ websites, www.focuspg.com
